SAFETY DEVICES

• Thermal protector.

This safety device stops the high pressure cleaner in the event of overheating and/or electrical over-

current.

EN

22

If it trips, follow the instructions below:

- turn the main switch (1) to “0” and take the plug out of the mains socket;

- press the cleaner gun lever (23) to discharge any remaining pressure;

- wait 10 to 15 minutes for the high pressure cleaner to cool down;

- check that the requirements for the mains power connections have been followed correctly (see the

INSTRUCTIONS MANUAL  SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

), paying particular attention to the extension lead

used;

- reconnect the plug and repeat the start-up procedure described in

“OPERATION”

.

• Safety valve.

This duly calibrated maximum pressure valve discharges any excess pressure should an anomaly develop

in the pressure adjustment system.

• Boiler safety device.

This stops the burner working should the hydraulic circuit overheat as a result of an anomaly in the

temperature adjustment system.

• Pressure control/ adjustment valve

This valve, calibrated by the Manufacturer, permits to adjust the operating pressure (job pertaining to the

Specialized Technician) and the pumped uid to return to the pump’s suction unit, avoiding dangerous

pressure levels, when the gun is closed or when a pressure value is set over the maximum level allowed.

• Gun Lever Blocking Device.

This safety device (24) allows to lock the lever (23) on the cleaner gun (18) in the closed position, preventing

accidental activation (Fig. 4, position C).

vehicles.

23

INSTALLATION  FITTING THE ACCESSORIES

• Connect the quick t connector (27) on the hose (26) to the water outlet connector (5) and secure the

ring nut tightly by hand. Step H in Fig. 7.

• Screw the connector (25) on the high pressure hose onto the thread of the cleaner gun (17) and tighten

it using two 17/22 mm spanners (not supplied). Step G in Fig. 7.

• Insert the lter (29) and the seal (30) in the cup (28); screw the cup(28) onto the connector (4). StepI in

Fig. 8.

PRELIMINARY OPERATIONS

• Put the power cable support (7) on the sheet metal plate of the handle (3) and x it with the self-tapping

screw (10). Step A in Fig. 2.

• Insert the handle (3) in the steel pipes projecting from the machine and x it using the kit supplied: tighten

the threaded handwheels (11) on the nuts retained by their housings on the handle. Step B in Fig. 2.

• Use the handles (3) to move the high pressure cleaner to the area where it is to be used.

• Unwind the high pressure hose completely (26).

• Using a quick coupling (GARDENA® type or equivalent), secure a supply hose (35) with an internal diameter

of 13 mm/0.51 in to the water inlet lter cup (28). Step I in Fig. 8.

• Connect the water supply hose to a tap.

• Open the water tap (if connecting to the mains wa ter supply, you must use a backow hydraulic device

(36): please refer to the relative instruction manual), making sure that there is no dripping (or place the

suction pipe in a draft tank).

• Check the master switch (1) is set at “0” and connect the plug. Step D in Fig. 5.

• Move the master switch (1) to position “I”.

• Press the cleaner gun lever (23) and wait for an even stream of water to be produced.

• Move the master switch (1) to “0” and connect the lance pipe (19) to the cleaner gun (18), securing it

rmly. Step F in Fig. 7.

STANDARD OPERATION WITH COLD WATER AT HIGH PRESSURE

• Make sure that the hot water switch (31) is in position “0”.

• Turn the high pressure cleaner on again by turning the master switch (1) to “I”.

• Press the cleaner gun lever (23) and check the nozzle spray is even without dripping.

• The high pressure cleaner is set to operate at the maximum permissible pressure, if lower pressure values

are to be used, contact a Specialized Technician, who will reset the pressure control/adjustment valve .

STANDARD OPERATION WITH HOT WATER AT HIGH PRESSURE

• Make sure that the hot water switch (31) is in position “0”.

• Unscrew the cap (8) and ll the tank with automotive gas oil, making sure the fuel does not spill over. We

recommend using a funnel reserved exclusively for this purpose (maximum tank capacity 4l/1,06USgal);

replace and tighten the cap.

• Turn the high pressure cleaner on again by moving the master switch (1) to “I”

• Premere l’interruttore acqua calda (31) portandolo in posizione “I”.

• Press the cleaner gun lever (23) and check the nozzle spray is even without dripping.

• The high pressure cleaner is set to operate at the maximum permissible pressure, if lower pressure values

are to be used, contact a Specialized Technician, who will reset the pressure control/adjustment valve.

• When the fuel is low, the burner will stop working.

• The burner starts working after about three seconds from the opening of the spray gun and stops when

the spray gun is closed or when the maximum permissible temperature has been reached.

• If you want to switch from hot water operation to cold water operation, press the hot water switch (31)

to position “0”.

24

OPERATION WITH DETERGENT

The Manufacturer recommends the use of detergents which are at least 90% biodegradable.

Refer to the label on the detergent for instructions on how to use it.

• Fill the bottle (34) with the desired detergent.

• Regulate the detergent suction capacity in the following way:

- disconnect the rod (33) from the lance (32);

- the E tooth on the rod (33) must match with one of the numbers on the inside of the lance (32) (1: minimum

suction; 6: maximum suction);

- re-connect the rod (33) in the lance (32).

• Insert the bottle (34) in the foam lance (32).

• Put the main switch (1) to position “0” and connect up the lance (32) and the spray gun (18).

• Start up the high pressure again, by putting the main switch (1) to position “I” and operating its lever (23)

(suction and mixing will start automatically when water goes through).

STOPPING THE CLEANER  TOTAL STOP MODE

• Release the cleaner gun lever (23) to stop the high pressure jet; the high pressure cleaner moves to the

by-pass operating mode and stops immediately.

• The cleaner will resume normal operation the as soon as the lever on the gun is pressed.

WARNING

• If you stop the high pressure jet and put the gun down, enable the locking handle (24). Step C in Fig. 4.

STOPPING

• Run the cleaner for a few minutes with cold water.

• Close the tap on the water supply o completely (or remove the suction pipe from the draft tank).

• Drain the water out of the cleaner by running it for a few seconds with the cleaner gun lever (23) pressed.

• Move the master switch (1) to “0”

• Take the plug out of the power socket.

• Eliminate any remaining pressure in the high pressure hose (26) by keeping the cleaner gun lever (23)

pressed down for a few seconds.

• Wait for the cleaner to cool down.

STORAGE

• Wind up the high pressure hose (26) with due care, making sure it is not bent; store it carefully, without

damaging it.

• Wind up the power cord (6) carefully its support (7).

• Store the high pressure cleaner in a clean, dry place. Make sure the power cord and the high pressure

hose are not damaged.

25

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

Follow the instructions for “STOPPING WORK” and those provided in the table below.

MAINTENANCE

SCHEDULE

ACTION

Every time the

cleaner is used

• Check the power cord, the high pressure hose, the connectors, the cleaner

gun and the lance pipe.

Should any of these look damaged, do not use the cleaner for any reason and

contact a Qualied Technician.

Once a Week • Check the water inlet lter (29) and clean it if necessary.

Unscrew the cup (28) and remove the lter (29).

Running water or compressed air is generally all that is needed to clean the lter.

In the most dicult cases, use a limescale remover or replace it, contacting a

Specialized Technician to buy the spare part.

Mount the lter again, following the above steps in reverse order.

Once a Month • Clean the nozzle.

To clean the nozzle, it is generally sucient to insert the pin (22) supplied into the

nozzle’s hole. If no appreciable results are obtained, contact a Qualied Technician

to buy the spare part. The nozzle can be replaced using a 14mm/0.55” spanner

(not supplied).
